Rokid Max 2 (2026)
VERDICT
If you wear prescription glasses, stop looking and buy the Rokid Max 2. The built-in diopter adjustment is a life-saver, allowing most users to play games or watch movies clearly without needing expensive custom inserts. It also boasts a significantly wider Field of View (50°) than the XREAL Air 2, making the virtual screen feel noticeably larger.
The Big Picture
While XREAL aims for a "sunglasses" look, the Rokid Max 2 focuses on immersion. It offers a massive 215-inch virtual screen (perceived size) thanks to its superior Sony Micro-OLED panels. The colors are punchy, the brightness is blinding (up to 600 nits), and the 120Hz refresh rate makes it a dream for Steam Deck users.
👓 Built-In Myopia Adjustment
The Killer Feature: Two dials on top of the frame.
How it works: You can adjust the focus from 0.00D to -6.00D independently for each eye. This means you can take off your regular glasses, put on the Rokid Max 2, tweak the dials, and see a crystal-clear image instantly. It’s brilliant engineering.
📐 50° Field of View (FoV)
Size matters.
Comparison: Most competitors offer a 46° FoV. Rokid pushes it to 50°. It sounds small, but in usage, it means the screen fills more of your vision, reducing the "looking through a tunnel" effect and creating a more cinematic experience.
✅ The Pros
- Diopter Adjustment: No prescription inserts needed for most users.
- Larger Screen: Wider FoV creates a more immersive image.
- Sound: Surprisingly loud built-in speakers with decent bass.
- 120Hz Refresh Rate: Smooth motion for gaming.
❌ The Cons
- Design: Looks thicker and more "bug-eyed" than the sleek XREAL.
- Heat: Can get warm on the forehead after extended use.
- Cable: The USB-C cable connector is a bit stiff.
🤔 Should you buy it?
YES if you have myopia (nearsightedness) and hate buying custom lenses for gadgets.
NO if you want the most stylish glasses to wear in public (XREAL Air 2 Pro looks much more like normal sunglasses).
